Not to be rude, but you'd probably get an equall great increase if not more so by switching to SCSI, along with reduced cpu usage. Sure. but I don't have the $$$ to do this. Anyway, if there is milage in making ISA work, I might as well try it. This is kinda a sore point for me. I've been at the top-end of box configs and I've been at the bottom. There are lots of users out there who just aren't going to get SMP enabled 512k cache m/b with fast-wide scsi, and making lower end configs work 'optimally' is important. I think it was said in 'insanely great' that shaving 1 second off the boot time for a Mac over the lifetime of the MacOS is like saving 10 peoples lifespans in time saved worldwide... -George -- George Michaelson | connect.com.au pty/ltd Email: ggm@connect.com.au | c/o AAPT, Phone: +61 7 3834 9976 | level 8, the Riverside Centre, Fax: +61 7 3834 9908 | 123 Eagle St, Brisbane QLD 4000
